Steve Biko Cold Case: 48 Years and Counting!

Biko, the legendary anti-apartheid leader who won’t stay quietly in the history books, is finally getting another spin on the case. Police custody in the 1970s was apparently problematic enough to revisit decades later as if true crime TV had nothing on real life. So here’s to justice: slow, steady, and destined to keep true crime aficionados refreshing Reddit for years.
